In office, Congresswoman Budzinski has taken a holistic approach to this issue by making sure there are consequences for people who break the law, while also working to disrupt cycles of violence by funding early childhood education programs and street intervention and violence interruption initiatives.

Incumbent

In her second term representing South Central Illinois, Rep. Nikki Budzinski has been a supporter of the U.S.-Israel relationship.

"I'm honored to have the endorsement of the Illinois Federation of Teachers. From Champaign to Springfield to the Metro East and all the rural communities in between, I hear from families who rely on strong public schools and who need accessible higher education. I’ll continue standing up for them and opposing the President’s voucher schemes, protect our public schools and colleges, and seek to bring fairness to our tax code so that every student in Central and Southern Illinois gets the resources and opportunities to succeed."
